Thanks man. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if I have more time in cleaning everything than actual pulling/tare down.
After going through this exercise I certainly see how there are 90+ some cases of failed motors due to oil pickup blockage. With the amount of time covered by toyota/subaru for these techs it is pretty hard to get it done properly I would imagine.. this stuff literally goes everywhere. Even with the gasket remover spray and a bunch of new plastic razors it all comes off in small bits and pieces and wedges everywhere. I spent 30 minutes yesterday turning the motors in various angles and blowing it all out just to make sure I get as much as possible out. Once its all together I'm planning on doing just straight flushing the motor a couple of times to see if I can get small bits and pieces to wash out from anywhere using the oil I drained (going to strain it to make sure it goes in clean to begin with).
Then it will be time to get working with the FIPG... which im not too crazy on doing but im sure without rushing and taking my time i'll do a good enough job.
Whats crazy is that even from the factory, you can see how inconsistent the FIPG went on. The RH bank cams even had excess gasket material stuck to them from where it squezed out from under the cam caps
